“Helllloooo! Errr... It's me. Errr, Zoe has finally abseiled down Rundell (Arundel?) Castle, all 180 feet of it, and she's shaking like a leaf. Laughs. (Zoe?) No she isn't, she's fine. (Stegzy) Yes she is, she's shaking like a leaf, big chicken. (Zoe?) I am so not a big chicken. I'm glad it's over though. (Stegzy) OK see you later!”

Soundtrack: "Real Gone Kid" by Deacon Blue

So here I am once more. Enjoying the relative tranquillity of the garden that backs onto the lane with no name opposite the field behind the lane with no name. I am here, sans G&T this afternoon because the T is flat and I can't abide flat pop. Instead, I am enjoying a bottle of Magners Cider. Well, enjoying in the loosest term of the word. Cider is only good if it is the kind of cloudy bollocks that Somersetian Farm hands stereotypically guzzle by the bucket load while chanting songs about the fair maid and her traaaacturrrr.

Today has been a busy and exhausting one. Work mainly. Though I did manage to do some shopping at the Co-op (yes I know they're a supermarket but they're the most ethical of the lot) where i discovered a lack of plastic bags. Usually I carry a shopping bag for such occasions but my mind was elsewhere and I'd left the fucker in the car. My reward for a hard day was a packet of Tuc crackers (I love their salty goodness) and a mega packet of Minstrels (chocolatey goodness).

Awaiting my return was an anonymous parcel containing a CD, I knew immediately who the parcel was from by the envelope, but had the encompassing folds of paper not given the game away the subject of the CD was clear and I correctly guessed that [info]zoefruitcake had kindly added more music to my vast collection. Speaking of [info]zoefruitcake it will be nearly 2 days until I hop on a train south bound (passport and papers ready for crossing the North/ South barrier at Luton) to pay her a visit. Indeed, such a visit is not without it's reasons, for zoefruitcakezoe will be abseiling down Arundel Castle. Ha! You wouldn't catch me doing that. Not for anything. Though I might for a McClaren F1 (but there is very little I wouldn't do for a McClaren F1). Or maybe a never ending supply of cream cakes.

And so, like this post, Wednesday draws to a close and with it, the prospect of a meal out with Mrs Gnomepants and her old friend Louise. Furthermore, my bottle of cider has run dry and besides, I'm gasping for a cig.

People on the bus @ 12:00 pm

Soundtrack: 'Real Gone Kid' by 'Deacon Blue'

So I'm driving home from a hard 3.5 hours work (did I mention I only work 7 hours a week these days?) and I'm listening to the wireless and the Home service Radio 4. The programme being broadcast was about a newspaper editor from Zimbabwe and how he is adapting to life as an asylum seeker in the UK. One of the main differences, he pointed out, between Harare and the UK was how people didn't seem to talk to each other on public transport.

Weirdo )
